Resources

Fundamentals of Applied Probability Theory by Al Drake (pdf) - written in 1967 and used for several decades to teach the above course. From the preface: "This is a first textbook in applied probability theory, assuming a background of one year of calculus."

Introduction to Probability by Bertsekas and Tsitsiklis - this is the book written and used by the current professors - it appears to be identical in terms of the layout and the topics covered.
